Stanford women open begin quest again for NCAA hoop title

Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen came to Stanford as two of the top women's basketball prospects in the country. Pedersen was rated the 15th best prospect overall by one publication. Even with those credentials, the two seniors have exceeded expectations. They are All-American candidates because they never stopped learning, never stopped looking for ways to improve. Their reputations among Cardinal elite cemented, there's only one thing left to accomplish and that's bringing a national championship to Stanford for the first time in 19 years.
